FIRST SNOW OF THE YEAR

We went sledding. Perhaps not enough snow to go sledding but we discovered that plastic toboggans will also slide over mud just as well as snow.

Wiping out!

Miles hands were cold the entire time. He originally had mittens on, but found that mittens were not as good as bare hands for eating muddy snow. Eating snow made his hands cold, which in turn led to hot, salty tears. Wiping out on a muddy hillside also moved Miles to hot, salty tears. He cried approximately 65% of the time we were there. Not long after we arrived at the sledding hill, Jack announced that he had peed his pants. Just so you know, he opted to sled in pee-pee pants rather than go home and change. I shrugged apathetically.

Sledding.

A bon fire for the little Tater-Tots to warm up by.

The fire also proved good for drying soggy gloves and mittens.

Wait! What's that howling? I caught something in my Jack-er-Wack trap! It's a Jack-er-Wack!

He was yelling, "I'm stuck, Daddy! I'm stuck!" between sobs. Hot, salty tears!!!

I almost caught a North American Fuzzy-Headed Goo-Goo Bean too. Just as well the little guy got away. There's not as much meat on them as on the Jack-er-Wacks.
